50 Cent: File-Sharing Doesn’t Hurt Artists, Industry Should Adapt
Written by enigmax on December 08, 2007Before getting up on stage at a club in Oslo, 50 Cent gave an interview. In it he denied taking coke on live TV in Zagreb and then dropped a file-sharing bombshell: “What is important for the music industry to understand is that this really doesn`t hurt the artists!” Wow. No-one cares about the coke now.
Curtis James Jackson III, aka 50 Cent has been a drug dealer, he’s been shot, he’s a hugely successful artist - selling over 20 million albums - and he even has his own label, G-Unit Records.
Thirty minutes before getting up on stage at a club in Oslo, 50 Cent gave an interview with Pål Nordseth. Most of the interview was spent with him denying using cocaine on live TV in Zagreb.
Pål asked 50 Cent: “How are G-Unit Records doing in these times of file-sharing?
“Not so good.” he responded. “The advances in technology impacts everyone, and we all must adapt. Most of all hip-hop, a style of music dependent upon a youthful audience. This market consists of individuals embracing innovations faster than the fans of classical and jazz music.”
“What is important for the music industry to understand is that this really doesn’t hurt the artists.”
Thats quite a statement. Organizations like the RIAA are always talking about how the artists get hurt by file-sharing but 50 Cent clearly doesn’t agree. In fact, he appears to appreciate the value of a good fan, whether he buys or file-shares his music, as he explains:
“A young fan may be just as devout and dedicated no matter if he bought it or stole it.”
Indeed. It’s been said time and time again - get the music out there by any which way, fill the gigs and capitalize on the merchandising and ends will meet. 50 Cent agrees:
“The concerts are crowded and the industry must understand that they have to manage all the 360 degrees around an artist. They, (the industry), have to maximize their income from concerts and merchandise. It is the only way they can get their marketing money back.”
He finishes up: “The main problem is that the artists are not getting as much help developing as before file-sharing. They are now learning to peddle ringtones, not records” he said.
“They don’t understand the value of a perfect piece of art.”
A huge thanks to RayJoha for his great work on this piece

The file sharing community has been endorsed by 50 Cent. Surely our credibility has now tripled
This is why I like him so much, he speaks for us all. Damn big buisness 50 FOR LIFE!!
dont forget about the times we had 50. you need that green for us to be friends.
50 cents rules ppl should listen to him in stead of sending pirates to jail and getting richer every day!!
Yeah, go fifty!
Wow, sounds like he actually has a head on his shoulders… even if it is filled with coke
lol @ santa.
I agree though, “young people” are giving the internet more attention than the radio or the tv, and labels have refused to migrate to this new medium.
I’d expect all of his music/record deals to start a HUGE uprise in downloads, after this article.
I’m so gonna support 50 Cent and his music from now on…
He speaks for everyone who loves file sharing.
first coke now file sharing. 50 isnt as bad as i thought
i found lots of 50 cent on h33t.com
motha fuka!
50 Cent gets my full respect for this.
100% Respect cuz of this! Now a fav artist!
50 4 President!
50 you show all haters that u r the best and i respect u and i am one of ur bigest fans
I’m going to buy a 50′ album on Monday after reading this.
Think i’ll go buy one to!
50 pence ur muzac aint worth da bandwidth … but u talk da shiznit
Ummm just because he supports file-sharers doesn’t mean I have to like his music. Go Run-DMC!
well said, fitty.
Gotta respect 50 for supporting file sharing, but that doesnt mean that anyone should listen his music. Dipset ftw!
This article just earned 50 cent some respect.
perception of 50 cent just doubled. go dollar!
I must say 50 cent was very low on my respect list, that has changed.
Oh, His music/lyrics still suck! :P
Personally, I hate rap and variations. But man, max respect to 50 Cent for speaking the truth.
personally, i don’t like rap all that much, but i gotta respect 50 cent for saying that, he has a big point, the riaa and such groups need to learn that they can’t win this war they are trying to fight, they must learn to adapt and learn to prosper in this age of file sharing without lawsuits everywhere.
Ha! This is great. A few years ago some enterprising young lads knocked on my door when I lived in Atlanta. They were going around the ‘hood selling ripped and burned CDs with inkjet printed covers. I gave them $2 for a 50cent CD. I wasn’t really thinking of the artist, but sticking it to the RIAA. I gave the CD to another kid a day later.
Ok, my respect for 50 cent has jumped from “zero” to “decent”. Great to hear that from an hugely influential person.
I bet he thinks it’s alright to punch people, flash guns when he’s pissed, and pop a cap when a ho talks shit behind his back. Who cares what some thug thinks? What matters isn’t whether artists are financially affected, what matters is whether you’re stealing or not and you are. If they want to give their music away because they think it’ll boost concert sales then they can do that. But stealing is wrong, immoral and demeaning to every hard working human being out there. If you give your hard earned efforts away you’re nothing more than a scab.
What the fuck. Did he just suggest the labels should take money from the artist’s income in merchandise?
You asshole. Now all of the artists are going to starve.
Fuck you, you are supporting the labels who have sued and raped fans.
Practically negative respect for this douche now.
[quote]what matters is whether you’re stealing or not and you are. [/quote]
Please explain how you think that by sharing data files over the internet I am somehow stealing…
The label’s had nothing to do with merchandising and concerts and this dude thinks its a good idea for label’s to recoupe ad dollars that way. Im sorry, love fif but he missed the mark on that one. Overall i get his point with downloading. Since he supports our community then i will make sure to seed ^Curtis^ over at seedmonster.com lol
one of the smartest things 50 has said in a while.
a big up to 50 cent
[quote comment="234431"]Ummm just because he supports file-sharers doesn’t mean I have to like his music. Go Run-DMC![/quote]
exactly what i was thinking, when i read all that praise. thanks sean., there’s a difference between an opinion i embrace and music i like.
GO WHATEVERBANDYOULIKE
He was high on crack when he said that . Gonna apologize on behalf of the big’old record companies tomorrow.
I dont listen to any rap i listen to death metal , black metal etc and i really dont like rap but i agree with 50 cent GO 50 lol :PPP
Fuck that fuckin’ ape lookin’ mutha fucka!
I’ve never cared much for his tunes but I gotta give the man respect. I thought his last comment was particularly interesting.
“The main problem is that the artists are not getting as much help developing as before file-sharing. They are now learning to peddle ringtones, not records.”
“They don’t understand the value of a perfect piece of art.”
wow everyone spread the word myspace, facebook whatever and wherever
GGG U NOT
I think this was translated into Norwegian before being translated back to English, so I’d take it with a grain of salt.
Furthermore, who knows if the source is reliable.
Curtis James Jackson III has a lot of soul, that’s for sure!
Not exactly the most credible bloke out there. But +2 respect points from me.
What’s on his head??
Good on him though
LIES!! LIES LIES!!!
“The advances in technology impacts everyone, and we all must adapt. Most of all hip-hop, a style of music dependent upon a youthful audience. This market consists of individuals embracing innovations faster than the fans of classical and jazz music.”
WTF? Fuckin’ 50 Pennies dont talk that damn fancy!
True Dat,
Being poor ah de biggest crime.
And first thing me do, when deh money ddeh. is spend.
‘Pon who?
Wifey and
If you all wanna protect yourselfs and others stop being scared you will goto prison.
Thats why I made this guide here:
http://www.mininova.org/tor/1034577
it’s a guide I made I want every filesharer to see, it has tons of useful information on how to protect yourself from going to court when you fileshare.
This ebook will protect you all from RIAA/MPAA.
Protect ourselves while we can.
Okay to all you idiots out there (take no offense I think all people are idiots myself included). what is music. If an artist didn’t need a record label, what other means of distribution would he have to undertake? well in the current age of man we like to share information rapidly. a digitized version of a song is no more the artist’s property than it is the record label who recorded it. if you think about intellectual property, it’s a totally bogus Idea, because it means that for the next 25-50 years noone but you will be able to profit from your idea, but if you inform people of an idea, it is no longer yours, it is “ours” as you have basically uploaded a program for me to download, and run on my own brain. if the riaa wanted to remove all digital/virtual illegal copies of music, do you realize what they would have to do? they would literally have to crack open the brains of every man woman and child on the surface of the planet, and have a neurosurgeon armed with an mri, a scalpel, and a metallica record, searching for the neurons that the sounds stimulate, so that he could remove them. personally that would shred most of my conciousness, from about highschool. and if they tried to remove all impulses related to Disturbed from my brain I’m pretty sure it would be like giving me a full frontal labotomy. as you all well know memories are associative, as are other forms of engrams in the brain. so anytime you start singing or humming to yourself some song that you can’t quite remember the tune to, think about what it is in this moment that triggered that memory pathway, because it is likely a fundamental part of who you are. and for the federal government to intervene, and cut at the very fabric of our existance by taxing ideas, and creativity, is a gross crime against humanity itself, sure paying for something may seem like a trivial act, but if the masses realized that the honor system works rather well in the music industry, more people would listen to more music, and more struggling artists would be able to start paying their bills, and start eliminating them, by buying the things they rent from the record companies, who are just shady middlemen whose image we question not, but who hold down the creativity of the world.
crap I got 50th and didn’t even realize it :(
My Man, Mr Fiddy Cent
@ 50
Lol, well said. Pretty funny too. :P
And you got the 50th comment. :(
JESUS CHRIST! omg i think i just turned from hard rock to rap in like 30 sec’s!!!!!!
When the roofs on fire, let the RIAA muthafka burn
Heh, my respect for Fifty just increased ten-fold.
Right On, Fiddy=D
and BREIN should adapt 2
I have no respect for 50 what so ever. Now at leat I like him a little bit for understanding fans are fans. His music is garbage, and will be so for a while and in 2 years he will no longer be a brand name. Look at eminem, what happened to him? He’s just slowly being forgotten.
50’s got it right. Make good music and no matter if you download it or go see him live he rocks your ass.
Tradin music just spreads the beats to those that might not get em = more fans.
I don’t like Hip-hop. I don’t like rap… I don’t like any of it, and i DON’T like 50 Cent. But damn… He is truly the first artist to say such things. I am now going to the store to BUY one of his records.
50, you just earned yourself a new fan!
Thanks Mr.Cent !! ;)
Never thought I’d say this but, GO 50 CENT!
His latest statement might be perceived as a “comeuppance” against his rival Kanye West (and perhaps the allegation of ingesting a controlled drug).
I for one appreciate any artists who really see the big picture of the new business model that the Internet posed, but has been largely ignored by major recording label and studio companies for many years.
In my opinion, should there be one company that revolutionize the whole industry by creating tools that democratize artists’ ability to create works for themselves (and with ease), it would spell the death kneel for recording and studio companies.
Is it just me, but is fiddy’s fame not largely dependent on the widespread marketing done in his name by his record companies? To me certainly his music lacks any merit that would lead it to be widely listened to otherwise. He is a product of celebrity culture and not the creator of good music/art.
Filesharing is a mode of distribution that puts all artists on more or less a level footing relying on mouth to mouth advertising, and allowing consumers to sample music not controlled by the majors.
For him to embrace filesharing seems to me to be the equivalent of him embracing his own death.
[quote comment="234478"]Personally, I hate rap and variations. But man, max respect to 50 Cent for speaking the truth.[/quote]
I agree with all these type of comments, dont like rap but it does say alot about him being legit and not a fuckin fake.
So lets do the math, music industry has no friends? No Fans, not even artists?
Somebody give them there own country, the pirate bay already took over this one.
Bah ,it’s a trick,he really took coke,and said this as a distraction :)
I am metalhead but i respect this dude Hails 50 cent!!!
@Devil - Who gives a shit? What he’s said is true.
I hate what rap has become, so I cannot give any props to 50. Rap DOES promote violence and a unrealistic version of reality concerning drugs and money. 50 cent isn’t here because he’s the “f-ing man” but by the grace of God that one of those bullets did go through his freakin’ eye into his brain or that he didn’t die in jail.
Nevertheless, score one for us.
Every single one of you must have just skimmed the article or just looked at the title.
Currently, artists receive a small, small amount of royalties from music sales, and make most of their money on concert tickets and merchandise. 50 Cent is recommending that the labels take money from artists there, too! How are all of you idiots supporting him!?
“The concerts are crowded and the industry must understand that they have to manage all the 360 degrees around an artist. They, (the industry), have to maximize their income from concerts and merchandise. It is the only way they can get their marketing money back.”
He can only say this because he’s HUGE. He doesn’t need to worry about being a small time artist anymore. When you’re a medium money maker on a major label,and you aren’t on a 360 deal, then you can make a living. but when you are in the same situation with a 360 deal, you ARE GETTING ROBBED BLIND! You are all either thinking of only your personal welfare and only paying attention to the filesharing comments, or you just read the title. DO NOT SUPPORT THIS IDIOT.
@Andy–
So what you’re saying, Andy, is that the record industry should continue it’s practice of suing college students and young mothers for downloading songs rather than adapt its business model to recoup expenses through concert sales and merchandise. I believe you are the one missing the point of the article.
50 Cnt is da man, great music..his first album was best..best the rest werer ok is still listen to get rich or die tryin shits clean …!!!

No. I’m definitely not missing the point.
When downloading started with napster, the record labels sued people, instead of harnessing the power that downloading would quickly achieve. They shot themselves in the foot.
And now they are making up for their mistakes by using artists solely for money. Paramore doesn’t yet realize that they’ve been screwed with their 360 deal.
So no, I’m not missing the point. At this point in time, many artists from NIN to Radiohead to Saul Williams have demonstated they are capable of independent distribution.
Major record labels need to die. There is no other way to almost restart the system that has gotten so fucked up.
although i am not a huge fan of mr 50 well i really do hate his style of music he speaks the truth and this will be more widely known as the younger music artists come into the big time as now the newer artist were the ones who started the whole peer2peer thing i wouldn’t be surprised is more than half of the music industry downloads music i have seen an interview with moby a while back he doesn’t care how people are getting his music he is in the business because he loves making music and as long as people like the music then who gives a crap hes happy the consumers are happy the only ones that aren’t the the recording companies etc the ones that make the big bucks
Easy to say when you sold 20 000 000 albums!
Not the same for small/medium artists. And now record labels will want a cut on the concerts too. Great.
I’m not a rap fan but this goes to show that more and more artists are growing in support for p2p distribution systems and finding the old way of doing things to be quite archaic.
It’s easy for 50 cent to say that labels should do 360 deals now that he’s loaded and coked up to the eyeballs, but that attitude fucks up the people tryin to release real original music to a wider audience that don’t have the financial backing he had with his hiphop/pop music. (not dissin hiphop)
The guy has his own label that he’s ripping his artists off with 360 deals and everyone is giving him a big up and saying they want to buy his cd!
I lived like shit for the last ten years so i could write decent songs and play a good live show and the last thing i’m gonna do is give a douche bag like that 50% of my publishing/merch/gig money.
I give my tunes away for free to any one that cant afford it or doesn’t want to risk their hard earned cash on something there not sure about but don’t give this guy props about tryin to fuck poor artist in a new way than they already are!
Amen! Thanks you Fitty! This is awesome. I hope this encourages other artists to speak out.
Just learned he is a member of the celeb club millionairecupid.com. Seems he has created a nice album there.
I dont care much for his music, (would not bother downloading it either) but I’ll be sure to listen to any and all comments he makes on this issue in the future, and who knows I might just buy one of his album, out of respect for the guy.
i agree
50 shame on you…how can you diss croatian people because of your own mistakes…we are honest people
Thank you fifty cent for endorsing file sharing. This sorta makes up for all that terrible music you’ve created in the past few years.
Where have some of you been? The “industry” has been skimming off of ticket and t-shirt sales for a while now.
I am glad that 50 has seen the light to some extent, but that still doesn’t earn him any points with me. His noise is far from being “art”, and the thug message he, and the likes of, have pushed on our youth, is despicable.
Hm.
I get the distinct impression that this is a trojan horse.
Fiddy, thank you for acknowledging that a fan is a fan, and a supporter is a supporter, whether they are protesting the mafIAA middlemen or not; no other big names in pop have admitted this.
But as you, we, and the mafIAA realize that mafIAA CDs-only profiteering days are dead and dying; as we realize that the ONLY way to actually support the artists without Fking the guys on either side of the mafIAA middleman; as we realize that this is both the only money source both untapped by the mafIAA and unviolated by the P2P community [at _least_ as much out of respect ... nay, love for the artist as out of technical constraints];
The mafIAA understands that the only way to keep gouging the artist and fucking over P2P is to steal from this last reserve.
And Fiddy, you just gave them your blessing. Did they pay you enough? Are you sure it’ll do you for the rest of your life? Because sure as shite, the time is coming where you _will_ see an immense drop in your income as the bloodsuckers attach themselves to your only remaining money source…
Thanks for posting this. I clip a quote for my blog. Tom / http://www.pwnership.com
Check out this gospel rapper getting at 50.. the video is blowin up on youtube.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uYqTvRixDkU
This guy is as fake as N*Sync, another of Hollywood’s products designed to keep the minorities in line and killing each other off in the name of bitches and bling, y0. And we’re supposed to give a fuck what he thinks about file sharing? C’mon, he’ll say whatever they tell him too, as long as it keeps paying for the Crystal and Escalades. So really, how shocking is it when he says something in favour of the studios getting more of the money that used to go to artists?
Just another bitch pimping for the MAFiAA.. pay no mind.
Regardless of your personal opinion of his art, personally I think it’s crap, like most of the rap for the past 10 years, but he makes a very intelligent point. Prior to the release of distributable media (cassette tapes esp.), the artists made all of their money from live concerts. That still is true today, the only people really loosing out on this torrent p2p file sharing thing is everyone BUT the artists and us! As for anyone one else who gives a shit? We get the music we love (or loathe), and the artists get the big mansions and bitches yo. The only people bitch’n in the first place are the people who have made trillions of dollars off of us over the past 20 some-odd years, who really don’t do shit. They what? Make a pretty album cover, record it to a disk that costs like 12 cents, then sell it to the next guy, who sells it to the next guy, who sells it us. By the Time we get it, we are paying 1000 fold what it costs to make, so everyone can make a quick buck for really doing nothing. I would love to get the chance to ask Mr. 50 how much EXACTLY he has personally lost. If it is less than most of us make in ten years, who frikkin cares? Unfortunately the only people that loose, are the same dipshits that have the ability to BUY* the laws, and change them to their favor. But us computer dorks will always be one step ahead of them. And untill they understand and adjust prices accordingly, we will still dl from the net, if the overall quality and availability are not outweighed buy the overall product and price. THIS IS A BATTLE THAT WE AND THE ARTISTS WILL WIN, BIG BROTHER CANT WATCH ALL OF US.

AND he was in Scandinavia (OSLO). He was drumming up fans.
And to all the peeps who will buy a 50 disc after this, politics is politics, and a person’s artistic output is output. Support the idea, but don’t mix the two up. He still creates misogynistic violence-glorifying drivel.

1. He wasn’t the only one who sold a lot of albums.
2. With that number of sales, how does the file sharing hurt the giant industry? I don’t think people bought these albums at gun point. He started as a small artist and he worked harder than anyone else.
3. No one can stop the growing of information technology. Instead of whinning about it, you really need to work hard on making better music and marketing stradegy. Every industry is facing much more competition than before, not just music or movie making. The times they are a changin’
your a fucking snitch you bitch ass motherfucker
50’s comments do not hold water for the entire music industry. Concerts and MERCH… are great for those who tour…
but it doesn’t serve as a true accounting for all of the songwriters, artists, composers, arrangers, producers, studios, studio musicians, and talents WHO DO NOT TOUR but produce CD product from which THEY GET PAID. File sharing DOES NOT PAY THESE PEOPLE!!!
CD SALES DOES.
Since WHEN is 50cent an artist? If he is… WHERE can I see his art? When will the art schools of the world TEACH what he does? What place in the concert halls of the world will PERFORM HIS NOISE? What artists will be PERFORMING HIS noise in 50 years from now? He is not an artist. He is a poser… an imposter and a fool.

TELL THAT TO BILL GATES… copy VISTA and see what happens.
hey 50 how are you?
Considering Curtis’s lax stance toward other criminal offenses, it’s not all that unexpected (or credible) to support p2p. It’s kind of like a fat man who usually eats cake eating a tic-tac.
The fact that this man thinks he makes art in the first place is rediculous.
PLEASE MY BIG FIFTY I GUIDE YOU I HAVE FIFTEEN YEASD HOLD I COME FROM TO GUINEA I WANT TO YOU TAKE ME I GO TO AMERICA NEXT YOU PLEASE BIG FIFTY OK THANK YOU GOOD BAYE
Well in my poor opinion , 50 Cent is one of the greatest artists ever.
Surely sometimes he maybe overdo,
but as far as his statement is concerned , i think that file-sharing realy hurts artists nevertheless , his suggestion must be taken into consideration. Eventually the issue of stealing or not stealing is just bullshit…..
Come on people, there isn’t anyone who can claim tha he/she is flawless!! Illegal downloading can be taken as a wrong action. But who did not download at least one file?
Nobody….. so the file-sharing will be constant and no one can do anything about it.
P.S.1 if anyone disagrees talk with me through e-mail. Mine is yuris_sudavar@hotmail.com
P.S.2 50 Cent keep the good work !!!!
I love 50cent!!!
